16+ min ago (220+ words) President Donald Trump's rant about slain director Rob Reiner just made his "Peace President" brand more "mendacious," according to one columnist. Reiner and his wife, Michele, were murdered in their Hollywood, California home on Sunday, according to reports. Their son, Nick, has been indicted on murder charges related to the case.

Trump himself," Daly wrote in the column. Daly noted Reiner's frequent criticisms of Trump, and his openness to discussing the threat he posed.

23+ min ago (524+ words) The Hague (QNN)- Appeals judges at the International Criminal Court (ICC) rejected on Monday one of Israel's legal challenges seeking to block an investigation into war crimes during the genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza.

This ruling focuses on only one of several Israeli legal challenges against the ICC investigations and the arrest warrants for its officials. There is no timeline for the court to rule on the various other challenges to its jurisdiction in…...

46+ min ago (325+ words) Life caged in the West Bank as Israeli gates, fences and walls isolate Palestinian communities A new wave of Israeli policies is changing the reality and boundaries on the ground in the occupied West Bank. Many of the settlement outposts formalised in this latest decision are concentrated in the northeastern part of the West Bank, an area that traditionally has had very little settlement activity. They also include the formalisation of two outposts evacuated in 2005 by the government of Israeli then-Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. While these government decisions may seem bureaucratic, they are in fact strategic in nature. They support the more ideological and often more violent settlers entrenching their presence and taking over yet more Palestinian land, and becoming more brazen in their attacks against Palestinians, which are unprecedented in scope and effect. In September, United States President Donald…...
